Politicians love claiming a world-class hospital system. But you have to invest in people as well as shiny buildings for it to be true. And you have to invest early in doctors’ careers to build loyalty and to get the right numbers of doctors into each specialty.

Right call Roger Cook - spending money on this when our hospitals can barely keep up with demand would have gone down like a shot put

Great piece on medical identity. Rigour of training and final accountability is what makes us unique and what ties us together, despite huge diversity of specialties and practice settings. It is worth protecting and promoting.

MEDIA RELEASE: Clinical requirements must determine location of Women and Babies Hospital: AMA (WA) Position Statement >> pulse.ly/7jjlhgkyrl #wadoctors #wahealth #doctors

Western Australian women and babies deserve the same level of care that's provided in every other Australian State. That's why we're calling for tri-location of the new Women and Babies Hospital - Dr Michael Page - AMA (WA) President

There is an urgent plea for more nurses and doctors in WA, with the State Government confirming at least 5,000 will be needed over the next decade. But that might be just the tip of the iceberg. #9News

At yesterday’s #WAHealth Workforce Summit where the WA Health Minister said we need 6800 more doctors by 2033. It was a positive step to address long-term staff shortages but there’s still an urgent need to commit to incentives to attract and retain doctors in WA now.

Protecting Women's Interests: The AMA (WA) is largely supportive of the Abortion Legislation Reform Bill, but wants improvements that would make the legislation more safe and workable, and ensure the best patient care, and equity of access. #abortionishealthcare Dr Michael Page - AMA (WA) President

Any organisation that purports or aspires to be in the business of mainstream primary healthcare must eschew snake oil, or else it has a serious credibility problem.

Vape shops - not such a popular addition to local communities ... The Subiaco Council moved quickly to close this shop down following a huge backlash from local residents 👍 Dr Michael Page - AMA (WA) President

This is not a turf war. Doctors don't seek any turf from the Pharmacy Guild. What we DO seek is to protect the patients' best interests from inferior models of care. Yes, there are challenges with access to healthcare, but reducing quality and safety is not the solution.
